Framing for the Maiden!!!

My camera has become temperamental, so while the true stunning quality this framing has imparted on my project, South Seas Mermaid by Mirabilia is not fully expressed you can still get the idea.

I have several projects at the framers and when I saw this one I fell in love with it all over again!

The Maiden 

The South Seas Mermaid

Stitched on 32 ct OD linen, color is "Loch."

After being inspired by the Mermaids of the Mother and Crone I decided to start one of my own. the stitching went fast as I flew through spools of Krenic, but then came the beading. The project sat untouched for months as I began 6 others (yes I have many distractions, and maybe some commitment issues), but driven by some otherworldly desire to see her completed I finished the majority of beading after a 3 month sabbatical. Just like Glendon Place, Projects with excessive beading may fall into the category of never again! The Maiden
